COPRA® WireRolling Workflow

This webinar will focus on our COPRA RF WireRolling software solution specially designed for roll forming of wire profiles. We show you how our solution enables you to map the complete work process from design to the virtual set-up of the tool set.

COPRA® Workflow

During our webinar we will demonstrate you how you can make the design process as effective as possible by using COPRA® RF and how you can save cost and time by simulating the production process in COPRA® FEA RF.

COPRA® FEA RF Benefits

In this webinar we would like to demonstrate the possibilities of our Finite Element Simulation software for the roll forming process, show you the benefits and illustrate that common concerns and reservations against use of FEA simulations, are generally unfounded.

COPRA® RLM SmartSearch

In this webinar we would like to demonstrate the possibilities of the new functionality in COPRA® RF 2015: "SmartSearch" - a powerful tool for quick and easy real-time search during the design process.

COPRA® RF SmartRolls

COPRA® RF 2015 Preview

The layout of the roll tooling is still very often the most time consuming part of the design. As more and more sections are going to be simulated with COPRA® FEA RF prior to roll making, a quick and effective roll design and adaptation is very important. By using the new "SmartRolls" functionality the design time can be reduced by up to 50%!

CAE Technologies for Tube Roll Design

To achieve a constant high product quality for thinner wall thicknesses, increasing high tensile materials and profile shapes getting more and more complex, the use of powerful design and simulation tools is pretty much essential. Due to production demands, on the shop floor the time available for conducting tests is getting less and less, so that respective optimisations ideally need to be done conducted during design stage.

New Functionality in COPRA® FEA RF

Profile Measurement with COPRA® ProfileScan Desktop

Since then, the CPS has been developed continuously. Also the CPS software has been supplied with new functionality. Especially the interface with the roll form design software COPRA® RF offers a great benefit: It allows the user to generate a deviation diagram. Within a few mouse clicks it shows the deviation between the designed and the measured contour.

COPRA® RF - SolidWorks Interface

The COPRA® RF design data can be automatically converted to a 3D SolidWorks modell via an interface. A "real" 3D modell is transfered, which means no intelligence will be lost on the way. Changes in the COPRA® RF project will be automatically updated in the SolidWorks project. See how it's done in this video.

Tips & Tricks for COPRA® Users

COPRA® RF Software for roll forming has now been continuously developed for 27 years, the focus not only lying on technical development but also on user-friendliness. This is why the number of commands has been significantly reduced and functionality has increased. In this video we would like to give assistance especially to our long-term and faithful customers. Therefore we have gathered some “Tips & Tricks” which might even still be unknown by professional users.

COPRA® FEA RF 2013 - a "virtual roll forming mill"

Thanks to continuous development over many years, the quality of COPRA® FEA RF simulation results have achieved a very good match with reality. The simple transfer of the roll design data, together with a fast automated model preparation makes the application of the software very easy. To give all roll form designer the option to use COPRA® FEA RF, the new version 2013 includes various interfaces to directly import design data from other CAD drawings or 3rd party systems.

COPRA® FEA RF WireRolling

COPRA® FEA RF WireRolling software supports the entire process chain of massive wire rolling – from the development of the individual wire forming stages to simulation of the metal forming process based on the roller design. The designer can delegate many time consuming tasks, allowing him to concentrate on essential aspects such as optimisation of the design.

Why COPRA® RF Software is superior to any other rollforming software..

Recent customer surveys suggest, COPRA® RF can save you 50% or more in time alone per roll tool design, compared to our nearest competitor! Here is how it’s done, with the key features shown in this video.

COPRA® RF WireRolling

During the last year data M did some substantial development in the area of wire rolling. Now we are ready to present a solution with fast and reliable calculation results. This video will make you understand the workflow of COPRA® RF WireRolling.

COPRA® RF Cage Forming

The software solution COPRA® RF Cage Forming allows for a modeling of various types of straight edge forming systems due to its parametric structure. There are some obvious advantages to perform a mill setup on the computer rather than on the mill by practical trials. These are demonstrated in this video.

Scanning of Profile Cross Sections - Part 2

In the 2nd part of our series on "COPRA® ProfileScan Desktop" the software that generates the measuring results is presented. You can see the measuring process, how to define measuring functions and also how to import the data into CAD systems.

Scanning of Profile Cross Sections - Part 1

At the EuroBLECH 2012 data M presented its new product "COPRA® ProfileScan Desktop". This easy, accurate and cost effective measuring device guarantees you permanent quality controle for rollformed sections. We would like to give you a detailed presentation of the functionality with the following video.

COPRA® RF & COPRA® FEA RF – O futuro do perfilamento! (Portuguese)

This video (in Portuguese) is an introduction to the workflow with COPRA® RF and COPRA® FEA RF software technology. It explains what a FEA simulation is and how it can help you designing profiles and tooling.

COPRA® Roll Lifecycle Management

The COPRA® RLM database enables roll forming designers to store complete toolsets to a database in order to easily find and re-use rolls for other projects as well. This video shows you how the history of a roll can be tracked at any time.

COPRA® ProfileScan Desktop

COPRA® ProfileScan Desktop enables an easy, accurate and cost effective profile measurement by means of laser light-section principle. The device is encapsulated within a sturdy aluminium flight case, which gives total portability for movement not only around the manufacturing plant itself but also around the globe!

New technologies at data M

As a preview for the EuroBlech 2012 (22nd International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition) in Hanover, the following new technologies were presented:COPRA® Roll Lifecycle Management (RLM) database, new functions in the Tube Mill, extended Inventor Interface and our new software versions COPRA® RF 2013 and COPRA® FEA RF 2013.

COPRA® RollScanner

The control of the process reliability postulates the control of the roll forming tools. This can be done fast and easily with the COPRA® RollScanner. If the designed roll is available as CAD-drawing, then it can momentarily be compared with the actual scanned roll. The quality diagram shows the appearing deviations. Thus it is possible to determine quickly if a roll is within the required tolerance.

Rollforming the Future with data M (Portuguese)

This video (in Portuguese) is an introduction to the workflow with COPRA® RF software technology. The advantages of rollforming in general are shown as well as roll formed product applications in industry.

Inventor® Interface in COPRA® RF 2013

From a COPRA® project, the complete design can be created at the push of a button. All rolls will be built as parametric parts and are positioned at the correct place in the final assembly. With COPRA® RF 2013 the 2D manufacturing drawings are automatically generated. The time consuming process of creating them manually is not necessary anymore.

Roll Lifecycle Management

This video gives you a presentation of the roll data base in COPRA® RF 2013. In the past 20 years the electronic data processing has developed complete new areas. This leads to a huge data collection which needs to be managed. An important task is now to be able to find and use the data created – sometimes many years ago – in an easy and fast way. Today modern database management systems are doing that job.
